Unit of Competency | MSACMT251A - Apply quality standards |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit is based on LMTQAGN01A Apply quality standards.This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply quality standards to work operations in a manufacturing enterprise. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | In a typical scenario, an employee is expected to take responsibility for the quality of their own work, and to take actions specified in the procedures and within the scope of their job and authority to ensure that quality standards are met.This unit requires the application of skills associated with interpreting and applying workplace standards and identifying and addressing problems that interfere with quality outcomes. The unit requires initiative, enterprise and self management to ensure quality standards are achieved. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this training package. | ||
Overview of assessment requirements | Competence should be demonstrated in the appropriate work context dependent on the level of responsibility being exercised. Work is assessed in accordance with enterprise quality standards, relevant statutory requirements, organisation insurance requirements, OHS legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant health regulations. | |
What are the specific resource requirements for this unit? | Access to real or appropriately simulated production situations including areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications/patterns, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements. | |
What critical aspects of evidence are required to demonstrate competency in this unit? | Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: interpret, relevant work instructions, standards and specifications appropriate to the assessee's work check and measure the relevant quality parameters interpret the results of quality checks in terms of specifications, patterns and work standards take required action where standards of materials, component parts, final product or work processes are found to be unacceptable maintain accurate records. | |
In what context should assessment occur? | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. | |
Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit? | This unit may be assessed in conjunction with the other relevant units. In some contexts it may be necessary to use specific measuring equipment to check the quality and this may required competence in using that equipment. Where that is the case, it is appropriate to assess this unit in conjunction with that other relevant unit. | |
What method of assessment should apply? | Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the elements, Performance Criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment. Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit. The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace. The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment. | |
What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance? | Applies underpinning knowledge and skills when: interpreting work instructions, specifications, standards and patterns appropriate to the assessee's work describing consequences completing tasks identifying improvements within defined procedures applying safety precautions relevant to the task assessing operational capability of specified equipment used and work processes. Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures including: quality procedures hazard policies and procedures including codes of practice relevant to their job within defined procedures job procedures and work instructions waste, pollution and recycling management processes within defined procedures action taken promptly, accidents and incidents reported in accordance with statutory requirements and enterprise procedures recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions among staff and others in accordance with workplace procedures work completed systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods, equipment or personnel. | |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
|
Required skills |

Required knowledge |
relevant quality standards, policies and procedures relevant production processes, materials and products basic characteristics of materials used in the relevant production processes safety and environmental aspects of relevant production processes relevant measurement techniques and quality checking procedures workplace procedures reporting procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Work site environment | Work may be conducted in a large scale production or small business situation. |
Quality parameters | Quality parameters may include: finish size durability product variations materials alignment colour damage and imperfections. |
Quality checks | Quality checks may include: visual inspection physical measurements chemical tests checks against patterns, templates and guides. |
